Jerami Grant’s points total is set at 12.5, which is under his season average of 14.8 points. With Anfernee Simons questionable with an elbow injury, Grant should have a bigger offensive load and score more than 12.5 points.

Jimmy Butler’s points total is set at 15.5. Since his comeback, he has scored 18 and eight points in the past two games. Bet on Butler to finally hit some consistency and score more than 15.5 points.
